Chapter 36 - Northwest Breaking Home

A fifty year old general was standing on top of the Tongguan's fortress. His hair was a little gray, and he wore an armor. He had a very dignified appearance. It was obvious from one look that he was someone who often gave orders!

He was looking into the distance, thinking about something!

After a while, a Young Generals around thirty years of age walked over with large strides! This Young Generals looked a little similar to him, it was clear that he was his son or his nephew!

"Father, Li Gang was truly among those who just entered! I am definitely not mistaken, that is Li Gang! " The Young Generals said.

"That's right!" I also saw it clearly, it's Li Gang! " The grey haired general nodded.

"And that young man, he seems to really be His Highness, the Crown Prince!" The Young Generals said.

The grey haired general nodded.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Father, did you see that? Why did you send people to put them under house arrest, now that you see it? "Why don't you go greet them?" Seeing her father nod, the Young Generals asked in surprise.

"Let me ask you, why did the Emperor Kang send someone to spread the news that someone was impersonating as the crown prince?" The grey haired general said.

"This is very simple, because the Emperor Kang wants to ascend the throne to become emperor! Now that His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor have been captured and the whereabouts of the crown prince unknown, he sent people to say that the crown prince is impersonating himself. Young Generals said.

"You're right!" A few days ago, I already guessed what Emperor Kang was thinking! Hmph, the Emperor Kang, ah the Emperor Kang, is actually so greedy, and wants to steal the throne! He thought that once the Emperor and Supreme Emperor were captured by the Nvzhen, he would be able to become the Emperor! He wasn't a simple person! A few days ago, I was wondering where the real Crown Prince Palace had gone to. I never thought that they would come here for us! " The grey haired general said.

"Father, what should we do to the crown prince?" Young Generals said.

"Tell me, what should I do?" The white-haired general stared off into the distance and casually asked his son.

"Father... Can we kill the crown prince, give his head to the His Royal Highness, and support him to ascend to the throne! At that time, the His Royal Highness will definitely not treat us badly, and we will definitely enjoy wealth and prosperity for a long time! " The Young Generals thought for a while and said.

"Foolish!" The white-haired general shouted.

"Then according to father, what should we do now?" The Young Generals was unconvinced.

Let me ask you, when the His Royal Highness ascends the throne, he will give us wealth and glory, and what kind of wealth will he have? The white-haired general said.

"What kind of wealth? We can forever be in the northwest of the town, and our Zhuo Family is the number one family in the northwest! " Young Generals said.

"Our Zhuo Family is now the strongest family in the Northwest!" seed army is completely wiped out, Liu Jiajia has already gone to the Central Plains. Curved End and the rest's background is low, so they can't be compared to us! When we join the Emperor Kang and wait for them to ascend to the throne, we can at most keep our current status. The white-haired general said.

"This …" Young Generals was stunned and asked: "Father, what should we do?"

"I want to go a step further …" His hair was white and he remained silent for a long time, before a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"One more step?" Young Generals said somewhat puzzled.

"Yanzhi, think about the situation at the end of the Han Dynasty!" The white-haired general said.

"The end of the world?" The Young Generals was even more confused.

"At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Emperor was young, and the Prime Minister of Cao Cao controlled the affairs of the country. "After Cao Cao, Cao Pi ascended to the throne!" The white-haired general said slowly.

"This …" "Father, you want to learn Cao Cao?" Young Generals finally understood as he said in shock.

"Haha …" You finally guessed it! That's right, I want to learn Cao Cao! I am Cao Cao Cao, Yan you are Cao Pi! The Crown Prince was … "Emperor Han!" The white-haired general laughed.

Young Generals was shocked at first, but then he couldn't help laughing out loud! The top of Tongguan was filled with the laughter of the two people!

After a long while, the Young Generals finally said, "Father, so in other words, we have to properly protect this crown prince! We will have to support his ascension in the future! "

The white-haired general nodded and said, "Of course!" But he's just a tool in our hands! With him in our hands, we have the name of righteousness to command the world. Who would dare to disobey? "

Young Generals said: "Since that's the case, should we pay a visit to him now?"

The white-haired general sneered and said, "He's just a child, a mere tool. Why should we be so anxious to meet him?" Sooner or later, I will make him kneel at my feet! Yan Chi, immediately spread the news of the crown prince's arrival throughout the world! Emperor Kang wants people to think that the crown prince is pretending, but I want people to know that the crown prince is in my, Zhe Keqiu's, hands! First, we have to make all the officials in the northwest listen to the orders of the crown prince, which is to say, listen to the commands of our family! "

Young Generals bid farewell with a face full of joy. The white-haired general still stood there, looking into the distance, his heart agitated! After a long while, he suddenly clenched his fists and slowly muttered to himself: "My Zhuo Family has guarded the northwest region for more than five hundred years. When we were in the Tang Dynasty, our Zhuo Family was already one of the Northwest's protective barriers, and in the Song Dynasty, our Zhuo Family is the main faction within the Western Army. From today onwards, our Zhuo Family will unify the Central Plains! Those useless emperors of the Tang and Song dynasties aren't even fit to carry shoes for my Zhuo family! With Zhao Chen as a child, if worst comes to worst, I'll just be a peaceful marquis! Hahahaha... If I, Zhe Keqiu, am the future master of this world … "

His laughter echoed continuously on the city gate tower …

The sky had already darkened when Zhao Chen, Li Gang, Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian entered a large room.

The five of them sat there. The room was lit with candles and there were all kinds of delicious food. However, none of them had any intention of eating.

"Teacher, is there really no danger when we enter this place?" Zhao Chen looked outside and said.

"It should be safe … Just that, Your Highness, Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanzhi, the father and son are probably not easy to deal with. The two of them probably have other plans for the crown prince! " Li Gang frowned.

"Other thoughts? Take the son of heaven as a warning to the dukes? Your Highness the Crown Prince is now a rare commodity! " Zhao Chen revealed a cold smile, and said indifferently.

The father and son of the Zhexiu clan had placed them within the Tongguan and did not kill them. This was definitely because the father and son of the Zhexiu Clan had recognized their identities!

And the father and son of the Zhexiu clan had already recognized their identities, but still placed them under house arrest. This was definitely because they still had other concerns in their hearts!

After Zhao Chen came to this era, he experienced many things, and he was no longer the simple youth from before! Especially after he left Kaifeng, he had been learning the Emperor's Heart Technique from Li Gang all the way. At this moment, he had already guessed the intention of the father and son of the Zhexiu! The father and son of the Zhexiu had two choices. First, they had to kill him to curry favor with Zhao Gou, and second, they had to support him, a youth, to ascend the throne and become emperor. Since Zhao Chen was here weighing the pros and cons, he was sure that the father and son of the Zhexiu would take the second method!

"His Highness the Crown Prince is right, Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yanzhi must want to seize the son of heaven and order the dukes to do so! When the chaotic world arrives, there will be generations of villains and scoundrels. First Zhang Bangchang, Li Bangyan, then Zhao Gou, and now Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yanzhi and his son! Your Highness is going to suffer the persecution of these treacherous officials even though you are the crown prince! " Li Gang heaved a long sigh.

"What kind of suffering is this, the people of the world are the ones who are truly suffering! At least I'm safe! Since the father and son of the Zhuo family want to seize the son of the heavens to order the dukes around, then he won't harm my life for a short period of time! No matter what, we are safe now! " Zhao Chen revealed a smile and said.

It wasn't that he was heartless, it was just that he was happy in the midst of his suffering! During this period of time, he had been feeling nervous, so no matter what, he had to find a way to relax!

"Your Highness, I have something to say to you!" Li Gang nodded, and said again after a while.

"Your Highness, the three of us will go outside to watch first. We don't want anyone to barge in!" Hearing that Li Gang seemed like he wanted to speak with Zhao Chen alone, Yue Fei stood up and said.

"I'll have to trouble the three of you!" Zhao Chen nodded.

Yue Fei, Wang Gui and Zhang Xian had already walked out, leaving Zhao Chen and Zhao Chen behind.

Li Gang pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Highness, earlier, I brought you to the Tongguan, it was forced upon you! Right now, only the northwest side has an army. Only in this place can we obtain power to fight against the Emperor Kang and the Nvzhen! Therefore, even if there is danger, we must enter this place! Right now, Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanzhi the father and son have ill intentions, although His Highness will not be harmed for the time being, but I am afraid that his future days will not be too good! "

"That's nothing!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Highness, you must firmly remember these two words — endure it! You must endure it patiently. Now, everything will be under the control of the father and son of the Zhuo clan! When we have enough strength or the opportunity comes, we will attack again and eliminate the father and son duo, and take control of the army! " Li Gang said.

"I understand! I will do as teacher says! Endure, from today onwards, we will all have to endure! " Zhao Chen clenched his teeth and said.
